It’s been 20 years since the first Summer Fondue episode. For this anniversary mix, I put together two hours of the sounds I’ve loved playing over the years: deeper grooves, West Coast house, funky cuts, a bit of latin, classic soulful vocals and a touch of disco. It begins with…
Back to home studio, we’re continuing our year-by-year flashback journey through the golden age of soulful house, and locking the time machine onto 2010 this week. 🕰️ By the turn of the decade, soulful house was still at the peak of lush live orchestration, soaring vocal performance and irresistibly warm…
This time we’re taking the music outdoors for a sun-drenched chilled soulful house journey! Spontaneously recorded on vacation in one of my favorite places (Carinthia), this mix switches the home studio to fresh air, mountains, and a compact portable setup. It’s all about smooth breezy grooves and world-class vocals →…
Building on the Soulful House Gems Flashback series, this time we’re revisiting 2009. It was still the golden age of classic soulful funky house music, and I hope to prove that with this week’s selection of tracks from 2009. Video version Audio version Art Soulmate · 2009 Soulful House Gems…
Locking the time machine again onto the incredible musical landscape of 2008! Following the amazing response to our previous flashbacks, we are digging another year of classic soulful house magic.

This time we’re taking a detour from from our usual sun-drenched poolside energy and head straight into the late-night hours. This episode is a collection of deeply emotional, vocal-driven deep house anthems from 2006 to 2014. It’s nostalgic, heavy with feeling, and is almost spiritual (but still soulful). There is…
In this episode, we’re jamming with the legendary 80s and 90s anthems we know by heart, but through a modern, funky lens. It’s the sounds of our youth – iconic tracks I was listening to many years ago, transformed by modern producers to give them a fresh nu-disco heartbeat. Featuring…
No words, just pure soul. Sometimes the music says more without any lyrics. For this 227th episode, I’m stripping things back to focus on the pure musicianship. We’re chilling with a curated selection of jazzy soulful house instrumentals – think Rhodes pianos, live sax, flutes, trumpets, and the steady 122-125…
